Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) are playing the Rajasthan Royals (RR) in an all-important Eliminator and controversy has yet again followed their back as the third umpire made a controversial call on review that overturned Dinesh Karthik's wicket.

The incident took place on the third ball of the 15th over where Avesh Khan hit Karthik's pad on his very first delivery right after getting Rajat Patidar caught.

The controversy took place as the on-field umpire straightaway gave DK out as he missed a flick on Avesh's full delivery that angled in from outside off. The batter took a few seconds before going to the third umpire, hoping for some miracle as it looked plumb.

The third umpire, in contrast to the on-field umpire, felt that the ball hit the bat before the pad. However, it was evident that the bat had clearly hit the pad which resulted in the spike on the ultra-edge.

In reaction, netizens criticized the third umpiring, for overturning the decision without any sort of hesitation and without re-watching the replays.


Here are some of the Twitter reactions:







At the halfway stage, the Royal Challengers finished at 172/8, giving themselves something to fight with to make it to the qualifier 2.
